Partygate (2023)
Surprisingly difficult to watch
Having lived through the pandemic, this programme was absolutely fascinating but at the same time pretty difficult to watch - it really hit home hard, as with the majority of us all, the lockdowns and restrictions put in place affected us all.
This depiction of the events that happened at No.10 really dramatises the complete flagrant disregard of rules, and laws our complete inept government put in place, that they clearly felt they were not subject to.
It is a total insult that whilst they were clearly having a jolly good time on cheese and wine, hard working people who simply wanted to see their loved ones, weren't able to, and if they did they incurred a ludicrous and disproportionate fine for breaking these rules....and Boris & crew, who were found guilty paid a measly £50 for the same breaches.
I'm not a politically driven person at all, but this has utterly infuriated me, and I feel downright upset how we have all been taken for mugs.
I didn't expect this watch to be so difficult or emotional, so toy may find the same, so be aware.
Blue Beetle (2023)
I really wanted to like it...
....but didn't. I knew nothing about Blue Beetle prior to watching it, therefore only had the trailers to go by - that should've been enough, because actually watching was hard work.
I persevered for 1hr, bit couldn't take it any more...predictable, generic, characters aren't likeable enough to actually give a dam what happens to them - I don't know what happened at the end, and nor do I care...but I suspect its something like the family get taken hostage, there's some big over-egged fight scene, someone dies but comes back....blah blah blah
I wouldn't bother, save your money for something better like re-renting an old Marvel movie 🤣
